The Northern Song Dynasty army, which originally had high morale, finally stopped at the critical moment, which suddenly attracted the attention of the world.

In the Dali Palace, Zhu Shou, after receiving the news, suddenly turned into a sigh.

The old lady actually died. No wonder the Northern Song army could only stop.

"Your Majesty, the possibility of the Northern Song Dynasty trying to destroy Xixia is relatively small." Lu Miaozi sighed: "It is a pity that such a good situation has slipped away like this."

"Huh, Your Majesty, it is a very common thing for ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty to fight against each other. I am not surprised." Meng Gong said disdainfully: "If they hadn't been against each other, the Southern Song Dynasty would have been overrun by the other party. Went out."

"Your Majesty, are you ready to send troops?" Lu Miaozi looked at Zhu Shou and knew that Zhu Shou wanted to send troops at this time.

"Mr. Lu, do you think we should send troops at this time?" Zhu Shou asked.

Of course, there is no problem for the Ming Dynasty to send troops. The soldiers are well-prepared and well-fed. However, after all, the Ming Dynasty has gone through years of fighting and the soldiers are exhausted. If they continue to fight, I am afraid that the soldiers will have resistance in their hearts.

"I think it is best for the king to only use Dali's troops at this time." Lu Miaozi said quickly.

"Your Majesty, Dali's [-]-strong army is at your command," Meng Gong said seriously.

Although Meng Gong and others would not take action against the Southern Song Dynasty, they would definitely take action against the Northern Song Dynasty.

"There are still soldiers and horses in Beizhou, so order Beizhou soldiers and horses to attack the Northern Song Dynasty." Lu Miaozi suggested again.

"No, now is not the time to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. Let's deal with Xixia first. Xixia is like a ripe peach, just in time to eat it."

Zhu Shou gave up the temptation and decided to deal with Xixia first.

"I will dispatch troops immediately." Meng Gong was overjoyed and quickly retreated.

"Mr. Lu, let's go shopping in the market."

Zhu Shou said with a smile.

"Old minister, I obey." Lu Miaozi quickly agreed.

Although Dali was relatively peaceful, the market became prosperous after becoming the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Caravans from other places can be seen everywhere, and there are even caravans coming from the Eastern Wasteland.

"Sir, the climate here is very good. I really want to come here to retire when I am old. It will be very pleasant to pick chrysanthemums under the east fence and see Nanshan leisurely." Lu Miaozi put down his official duties and felt the atmosphere in the market.

Zhu Shou smiled slightly after hearing this. Only rich people have such a wish, while poor people wish they had countless money. They are tired of their poor life.

"Mr. Lu, you are good at the art of mechanism. I wonder if it is possible to design a car that does not need to be pulled by people. It can cover a thousand miles in just one day." Zhu Shou suddenly asked.

"Within one day?" Lu Miaozi was stunned after hearing this.

Although he is good at mechanics, he really doesn't have a decent car design.

"A thousand-mile horse can travel a thousand miles in a day. I just thought the king shouldn't want such a car!" Lu Miaozi said hesitantly.

"Of course not. The carriage I want is not meant to pull one person, but to pull thousands of people. It can quickly travel from the Eastern Wilderness to the Western Wilderness." Zhu Shou's face showed excitement.

Suddenly, he found a good job for Lu Miaozi, which was to build a railway. If such a railway existed in the wilderness, the distance from the eastern wilderness to the western wilderness would be greatly shortened. Regardless of whether someone rebels or not, the imperial army can quickly rush to the place of rebellion and easily wipe out them; through the railway, all kinds of information can be delivered to them in the fastest time across the entire wilderness.

"Let's go, you and I find a place to discuss."

Zhu Shou immediately became interested and invited Lu Miaozi into a restaurant and asked for a private room.

"The Great Wilderness is really too big. When Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty divided the feudal lords, there was actually no way he could do it, because without enfeoffment, he couldn't control the entire Great Wilderness. He could only use this method to repay his efforts on the one hand, and on the other hand There is no other way. This is also a helpless move."

"The king is worried that the Ming Dynasty will be the same in the future. When the time comes, the king will also enfeoff?" Lu Miaozi immediately understood Zhu Shou's worry.

If it is done in this way, it means that the Ming Dynasty will also follow the old path of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dividing the princes and then being destroyed by the princes. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was also destroyed in this way.

"Yes." Zhu Shou nodded and said: "This is a historical necessity. Only by changing the distance between each other and making the news more convenient, in this way, no matter what happens in any corner of the wilderness, the court can Know it quickly so that the court can respond quickly."

After hearing this, Lu Miaozi immediately understood Zhu Shou's worries. The only thing he could do now was to change the transportation. No matter where there was a rebellion, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court could reach the place of rebellion in a very short time.

"I want to create a vehicle that can carry hundreds or even thousands of people without manpower or horsepower. It can run day and night without resting, and it can reach the front line in a very short time."

Zhu Shou described.

"Is there such a car?" Lu Miaozi hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He really didn't expect that there was such a car in the world.

"Yes, there must be. As long as you can think of it, you won't have to worry about not being able to do it." Zhu Shou thought for a while, then explained the principle of the steam engine, and then said: "Sir, what you are best at is these strange and obscene techniques. I didn’t know it was possible to design such a car.”

After hearing this, Lu Miaozi's face showed a look of contemplation.

"Good idea, good idea."

But before he could speak, a surprised voice came from the next door, and then the door opened and a Taoist walked in. Behind him was a graceful woman, but she was wearing a cloak, so her appearance could not be clearly seen.

"Your Highness Prince Ming, I'm very sorry. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. Please forgive me." The Taoist looked at Zhu Shou with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Master, please sit down."

Zhu Shou was not angry. The two of them were chatting here. The other party was highly skilled in martial arts, so it was normal to hear the two of them chatting.

On the contrary, he was very curious about the identity of the other party. He knew that he was the master of the Ming Dynasty, but he still approached him without caring at all. This made him amazed.

"May I ask what you call me, senior?" Zhu Shou asked directly.

"Pindao Xiaoyaozi." The Taoist said his name.

"Xiaoyaozi, the founder of the Xiaoyao sect?" Zhu Shou was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Taoist in front of him was actually Xiaoyaozi.

The master of the third elder Xiaoyao actually appeared in front of him.

Xiaoyaozi said with a smile: "What Xiaoyao sect, there were only five masters and disciples at that time, so what kind of sect is it? Among the five, two are my daughters. Prince Ming, you are just kidding." (End of this chapter)
